"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

decidely OT: Wedding Song Advice

A good female friend of mine is getting married and she has canvassed my wife and I related to romantic music for the first series of dances at her wedding. I advised Ben Folds "The Luckiest"; please weigh in with opinion/options.

Thanks everyone.

I would recommend The victors. Fast version on the way in, slow version on the way out. Or vice versa. Also, you can probably get that douchebag superfan to come and play the cowbell. Every wedding needs more cowbell.

Although it's been used about a bagillion times, my wife and I danced to "At Last" by Etta James. The twist was that her 13 year old cousin sang it. She's a tiny little girl with as much soul as Ms. James. I have to say it was a memorable moment for us and everyone else too.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia - but only slightly less well-known is this: Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Wonderful Tonight?
From songfacts.com:
Clapton wrote this in 1976 while waiting for his girlfriend (and future wife) Pattie to get ready for a night out. They were going to a Buddy Holly tribute that Paul McCartney put together, and Clapton was in the familiar position of waiting while she tried on clothes.

no... that's exactly what the lyrics are talking about. It's kinda like.. yes, you look great, can we go!?!? but i mean, a wedding is kinda like a huge date... I dunno, its cheesy and i like the song anyways

I was just saying that I find it really funny that most women think it is this syrupy sweet love song when it's really about one of the frustruations that every guy has and can relate to with his wife/girl friend. Mix that in with all the pomp and circumstance of a wedding and it is always brings a smile to my face when they play it!

and from the heart, you should check out "Let me be the one" by Rik Emmitt (former Triumph guitarist/singer). Really an awsome wedding song. Work with the hubby to dedicated this song to his new wife. She will be so touched, she may do him right there on the dance floor...

My wife, being the prankster she is, came up with the idea to have ACDC's Highway to Hell play for a minute for our first dance. Everyone laughed their asses off. Then our real first dance song played which was "Don't Want To Miss A Thing" (I believe that's the title) by Aerosmith from the movie soundtrack to Armageddon.

Blue Brothers version. Danced with my mom on this and even did the dance from the movie to it. Started out with some generic love-y ballad for abotu 20 seconds, then had the DJ screech the song and switch to the Blues Bros. It was awesome to see my mom's face as the song screeched, then the next thing you heard was "Now we'd like to do a favorite of the horn section, we hope it's one of yours". She smiled. The only thing better as if the stage had been circled in chicken wire.

"So I come out of Ohio Stadium after we beat the Buckeyes, and right there on the hood of my friend's car, some one took a dump, in the shape of an 'O'. no shit. Oh, sorry, bad pun."
